Featuring Dr. Mel Levine and the All Kinds of
Minds approach to learning, the Developing Minds series fosters a thorough
understanding of differences in learning and the process for working with each
child’s unique learning profile. Classroom footage and interviews with
students, parents, teachers, and learning experts demystify complex concepts.
The Developing Minds multimedia library is a unique, essential resource. The
series offers practical, proven tools and strategies for academic and social
success, promotes a fuller understanding of learning differences (including
strengths as well as weaknesses), and explores the relationship between
learning and key brain function (like memory and attention) that impact a
student’s ability to succeed in school.

"I loan these videos to parents who are having difficulty
understanding why their child is having problems in a particular area. The
viewing of the videos serves to assist parents in regards to their child's
learning issues and make them much more understanding of their child’s needs.
It also seems to be a source of relief for parents to be able to quantify their
child's specific learning issues and thus they are better able to generate a
plan of action to help their child." - Jan Drake
“I offer a series of five monthly lunchtime meetings for our parents. At each
session I show a video from the series. Last month I had over 110 parents! I
provided the parents with video notes and introduced them to the All Kinds of
Minds Web site. The possibilities are endless!” - Schools Attuned participant
